Description from store
Archive Page makes it easy to preserve snapshots of web pages using Archive Today, a time capsule for the internet. With a single click, you can ensure that important pages remain accessible, even if the originals are altered or removed.
Key Features
• One-click archiving: Add a button to your browser toolbar. Clicking it sends the current tab’s URL to Archive Today, opening the archive in a new tab for you to review, bookmark, or share.
• Context menu integration: Right-click any link to instantly archive or search it on Archive Today. Right-click any page to search its URL on Archive Today.
• Customizable behavior: Choose how and where new archive tabs open—adjacent, at the end, or as the active tab. Tab activation can be customized per function.
• Keyboard shortcuts: Create a shortcut to archive the current page even faster.
• Secure by design: All communication uses HTTPS for your security and privacy.
• Cross-platform:
- Works with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers like Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, Yandex Browser, and Ungoogled Chromium.
- Firefox is no longer directly supported; see the FAQ for work-arounds.
- Safari is not supported, but a bookmarklet is available: https://jnavas2.github.io/Archive-Page/
- For Android, see Archive Today app for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navasgroup.share2archive&hl=en_US
How It Works
• Pin the Archive Page button to your browser toolbar for easy access.
• Click the button to send the current page to Archive Today. The result opens in a new tab.
• Use right-click context menus to archive or search links and pages directly.
• Use a customizable keyboard shortcut to archive the current page even faster.
• Bookmark or share the archive URL as needed.
Privacy
• Your privacy is fully respected.
• No cookies are used.
• Only the minimum necessary permissions are required (activeTab, contextMenus, storage). Browsing history permission is not needed.
• No data collection: The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal or browsing data, except for sending the current tab’s URL to Archive Today when you request it.
• You can remove or disable the extension at any time. No data is retained after removal.
• Open source: Review the code for full transparency: https://github.com/JNavas2/Archive-Page
Notes & Troubleshooting
• You may need to click the Save button on Archive Today after the page loads to begin archiving.
• If you encounter an error, simply try again later. Archive Today may be temporarily overwhelmed; this is not an extension issue.
• For other issues, see the FAQ: https://github.com/JNavas2/Archive-Page/blob/main/FAQ.md

- (2025-03-13) David Taylor: This rocks!
- (2025-03-07) Lukas: Works like a charm!
- (2025-02-13) Gustavo Sanfront: Just Spetacular! The best!
- (2025-02-09) Daniel: It no longer functions. The app's owner must update the link to https://archive.is/ I keep getting redirected to a page saying: "Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com. Thank you for using nginx." Edit: Provide an option for users to edit the link since it appears to change periodically, avoiding the need to wait for an app update each time.
- (2024-12-29) Menna Mohsin: Can you please make it so we can find snapshots of different days and years for the links? I want to read the story before it got removed again.
- (2024-12-15) Spicy Tofu: I love you, thank you so much for making this. It's the best
- (2024-11-26) Filthy Papist: Works great. Did not have to clear cookies as the previous reviewer stated.
- (2024-11-06) Lewtwo: EDIT: After the response I got, I cleared my cookies and it works! Used to work perfectly, but currently takes me to the following page: Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com. Thank you for using nginx. I'm assuming this is because the extension queries archive.ph and that site is having its own issues— how can I make the extension use archive.today or archive.is?
- (2024-10-30) Peter Oakcroft: Very useful for keeping a record of what fantasists post on [share discussion] bulletin boards - the posts get deleted and it is useful to be able to bring back the past. Well worth the price [FREE!!!]
- (2024-10-23) Patrick G.: Has been very useful when I'm investigating for my case, safekeeping evidence, however there has been several glitches lately, as in some images do not save, and there has been failures to keep the layout intacts; I do make dozens upon hundreds of Archives, so it's likely I'm increasing the odds, but it's worth noting. Also, by Mid-October this year, there has been an Update or something that makes the tool unusable, Archive.today or Archive.ph is not working as of yet, but the alternative is Archive.is . I wish for us to move on from the change.
- (2024-10-14) K J: Why are you prompting wierd permisions settings at random times? This makes no sense from a UX pov. And feels like this extension is getting hacked. Also chrome just takes over the computer when it happens. Interupting anything your doing, a web call, presentation or work. stop this now!
- (2024-10-14) Iulius Augustus: "2. CloudFlare DNS may not resolve archive.today, so if you experience DNS errors, try a different DNS service." when 99.9% works and this extension fails i think the problem is there a waste of time, much better solutions out there forgot to remove it, bumped 2-3 times when got updated, now is time to remove it for good, farewell

- (2024-10-03) Colin Cahill: John, can you explain why you need a Display notification permission for options? Most other extensions just load options from a the extension's context menu.
- (2024-09-30) Edwin Astacio: Does as the tin says. The extension's info page on the browser still reads the "Read your browsing history," but the dev probably forgot to edit it, since the 0.8.4 Update removed that access. All in all great, useful extension.
- (2024-09-29) BB: First of all, I love this extension. But 'Read your browsing history' is indisputable. You say "will be removed in 0.8.4", we are currently at 0.8.1. Why waiting? Why did you request this permission?
- (2024-09-29) David White: It was a great extension, but why does it now need permissions to "read your browsing history" and "display notifications"? I can't enable it when it requires these permissions.
- (2024-09-29) Law B: Great work, John. I love this extension. Thank you so much! 😊🧡
- (2024-09-24) robin jacob roy: Is there any workaround to change the default archive.today backend website to some other proxy(like archive.fo)? Thank You.
- (2024-09-17) Marissa Olanick: Very reliable, I recommend it to everyone.
- (2024-09-05) George Michaelson: Does exactly what it says on the label. Good responsive dev, who hit me with a cluestick about runtime config very kindly. From time to time cloudflare has a fit over the archive.<thing> but that's not John's fault and he even points to the risk on the options/settings pane. 10/10 would use again. In fact, I just did.
- (2024-08-17) Philippa Willitts: Was great, but now when I click it it takes me to a page that says "Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com. Thank you for using nginx."
- (2024-08-15) Salman Ravoof: Works good, but the search fails if the URL has many attributes attached to its end. If there's a way it could select the base URL automatically before performing the search, that'd be amazing. Still, I like the functionality it offers. Thanks. Update 14/08/2024 - Still the same. I hope the author reads this review and provides an update to enable this feature.

- (2024-08-14) Alexa-Kim Stone: not working, Page unavailable
- (2024-08-10) Sam: Is this extension available on firefox?
- (2024-08-04) Andrew Thompson: Works great, thanks
- (2024-08-02) K P: Doesn't work for month now
- (2024-07-27) Dmitry Kórotkov: Amazing extension!
- (2024-07-14) Mina Ghaly: Fantastic extension for bypassing deceptive and unnecessary article paywalls. Would love to donate at some point to keep the extension going, thank you so much for what you're doing
- (2024-06-21) a random dude: this extension is unreal dawg! It bypassed almost everything. The paywall destroyer!
- (2024-06-10) James Tuttle: This extension is AMAZING- It really helps me to stay educated about events around the globe. I've been using it for several months now, with no issues so far. Thanks sooo much for this John!!!!
- (2024-06-05) Benny Bottema: I've used this a lot in the past and it worked perfectly.
- (2024-05-03) Sarah Miller: Please note that this extension archives elements that the authors will refuse to delete, so be careful about what you archive. They violate copyright laws and collect personal data using a tracking pixel once the browser is opened. They do not respect DMCA laws or individual rights. In addition, this archive site also indexes the Dark Web, there are thousands of child pornography content and also narcotics store directories. Stay away from this, as there is currently an FBI investigation. EDIT: John NAVAS is lying. He is the programmer of archive.today. The extension and the linked site are managed by the same people.
- (2024-05-02) AA: For the past several days it has been giving the "nginx is downloaded" message on multiple browsers and multiple networks, admittedly on one laptop. It has not gone away as I have expected, except for very brief moments when it worked, slowly (sometimes using alternate domains seemed to help but usually it does not).
- (2024-04-27) Juanjuan Zhang: It's amazing,thanks a lot!
- (2024-04-25) Joe Lazar: A useful extension that allows me to automate something I used to do manually. Who doesn't like being able to be a bit lazier? Only things I'd like are the ability to archive in the background without a new tab being opened as well as a way to archive a URL, e.g. a text field in the extension dropdown (which could probably just call the code for the background archive function). I guess those are fairly niche, but sometimes I just need to actively archive something that's rapidly changing.
- (2024-04-21) Boubaker Jaziri: It doesn't work anymore in the WSJ, Is there any solution ?
- (2024-04-16) Adric Me: Very handy site/plugin. I both for refinding and verifing news and history. and it makes it past some paywalls
- (2024-04-16) Puddsszzz G: This is amazing bro. Many thanks! I highly suggest it if you're looking to access content hidden behind a paywall. It's a perfect 10 out of 10.
- (2024-04-07) Lewis W: Watching the program work its magic in real-time gave me a dopamine hit. 10/10
- (2024-04-01) Mom and Baby Shop: This stopped working several months back for Google Chrome. Each time it shows "loading" for several minutes and then it times out. Have tried uninstalling/ removing it and adding it again - did not help. Edit 1: It does not work for Google Chrome when accessing any paywalled news site like NYT or WaPo. However, when accessing archive.is or archive.md or archive.ph using a browser like Firefox Focus on a mobile device, it works without any issues. Edit 2: I was able to isolate the issue - it was the Internet Security application. The Network Settings in the application required archive.is or archive.md or archive.ph to be added as "Trusted Addresses". Thanks for your help.
- (2024-03-28) tertiary zoru: YOU ARE SAVING THE INTERNET WITH THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH
- (2024-03-18) J. Hall: Works well but (if possible) an option to change the webpage from .today to .is would be really helpful, having to change your DNS servers just to use an extension is extreme. edit: That's a fair reply. Thank you for the extension!
- (2024-03-15) Pankaj Bhumireddy: saves a ton accessing content
- (2024-03-05) Steve Robertson: Absolutely fantastic. Please keep up the great work. Helps immensely with doing research on a budget.
- (2024-02-05) Harsh Torane: Very good. It allows me to read news which I cannot pay for otherwise because I am from a developing country (in that a minority ethnic) and chronically unemployed. I am also about to be a lawyer so I am pretty hard working. 10/10 nothing is perfect and I very much like this extension - hopefully without breaking it, it can be improved even further? Perhaps archive.today itself can be improved further? But that's a thought for the future, not the present! Edit: Please allow to save any web page with a single click. It is not possible or convenient to do this by yourself every time.
- (2024-01-31) Hank Tuan: I got kaspersky and I think that's the reason why your extension didn't work for me, but I don't know how to stop kaspersky intervening archive.today, hope you give me some suggestion to solve this problem. My error is "This site can’t be reached", "Checking the proxy and the firewall" or "Running Windows Network Diagnostics". I changed my DNS to Google Public DNS and disabled Cloudfare Warp as well as AdBlock extension, but it still didn't work.
- (2024-01-30) Xiaolong Hu: Best in its class. Highly recommend if you need to read something behind a paywall.
- (2024-01-07) Gerdami des Bêtes: I think the extension should get rid of the "share information" appended to the URL of a webpage, usually starting with the question mark, such as "?utm_source=SIM&utm_medium=email ...." or "?si=882Sg9KXMKtpl8fZ".
